Mountain goats

Colorful flowers and warmer weather aren’t the only signs spring is here — So are mountain goats at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. The public can see and learn more about the goats at a free wildlife-viewing event. The Division of Wildlife Resources will hold the event on Saturday. Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the DWR, says April is one of the best months to see the goats. “This event will be a great opportunity to get out and watch their sure-footed antics,” he said. Saturday’s event will be held at the Park-and-Ride lot at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake County. DWR biologists will be at the lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To reach the canyon, travel east from Sandy on 9400 South. “You’ll get a front-row look at these agile rock climbers using spotting scopes and binoculars that we’ll provide,” Walters said. “You can also pick up a poster and a card that will teach you more about mountain goats. And we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.” For more information, call Walters at 801-209-5326.
